Aherne's in Youghal

We had the most fabulous stay at Ahernes in Youghal. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was wonderfully personable — the kind that makes you feel genuinely cared for and welcome. We chose the tasting menu and it was exceptional: generous portions, beautifully prepared dishes, and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Ann looked after us throughout the evening and she was absolutely wonderful — attentive, warm, and so lovely. Breakfast was superb, the perfect finish to our stay. David and Gaye are such warm, welcoming hosts; you can feel the pride and heart they put into everything.

Just had a lovely stay here. Seafood was amazing, service is so friendly and I love the old school ease with which everything was done. Breakfast also superb. Room was big and clean. Carpark round the back, great pub 2 doors down (Berties). The owners love what they do and it shows..

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff, love interior design.

We stayed for two nights in January. It was a last minute booking, as the place we'd booked had turned out not to be suitable for a winter stay. By the time we arrived, we were soaked to the bone, as there was torrential rain. We were given a warm welcome in every way, and ushered into the bar beside the fire to warm up. We'd missed lunchtime, but had an early dinner that was superb. The service was spot on. Our room was large and cosy. We had breakfast each morning, and there was a great selection including fresh fruit and a full cooked breakfast. The owner kindly gifted us fresh apple juice made locally. We liked all the food so much, we chose to have dinner there again on the second night. Highly recommend and would be delighted to return.

A superb townhouse and restaurant, with excellent service from all staff members and beautiful food. Even though I am coeliac and lactose intolerant, there was no problem meeting my needs (a rare event!) The whole establishment is spotless and inviting and the restaurant was buzzing with chat and laughter. David and Gaye (and Anne) are to be commended on their attention to detail in every way. We shall return. Highly recommended !!
